Think of the ultimate must-have in a Mexican fridge and you will always find pickled peppers. They are available in cans at any grocery store, but many restaurants create their own home-made ‘Chiles en vinagre’ as appetizers. If you are not a spicy daredevil, you can eat the pickled carrots which are a real treat. Did you know that it’s super easy to make your own Mexican pickled peppers? Time to give it a try!

Ingredients
  • 1 pound jalapeño chilies
  • 1 cup carrots, peeled and sliced
  • ½ onion, diced in big cubes
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1 cup vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ¾ tsp thyme
  • ¾ tsp oregano
  • ½ tablespoon pepper corns
  • 2 cups water
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 glass jars with lid, cleaned and desinfected

Preparation
  1. Prepare the ingredients in the list above. The preparation process is quick.
  2. Heat the oil in a large non-aluminum skillet
  3. Add the carrots and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly. Make sure to not overcook them, so they still have some crunch
  4. Add the jalapeños, garlic and onion. Fry for another 7 minutes.
  5. Lastly add the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil and cook on a low heat for 5 minutes.
  6. Divide between the two glass pots, cover and leave to cool down, place in the refrigerator.
  7. Pickled peppers keep in the refrigerator for up to a month.
​
Tips
  • You can use whole jalapeños instead of sliced ones. Make sure to put a small incision on the side before frying
  • If you want, you can add different chilies or vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms

What Our Clients Are Saying

Great experience with knowledgeable guide. As part of foreign community in Mazatlan I am quite familiar with the history and food of Mazatlan.  However I really enjoyed the Flavor Teller experience. Food was delicious and I learned much more about the city we love. Built confidence and I will definitely return to the food vendors and restaurants we visited today.
